Displayed under the Mostra Centropolis banner, the development will offer more than 40,000 square feet of green spaces, the layout of which will be part of a responsible development approach to reduce the presence of heat islands in the sector.

The ground floor will include a commercial space intended for local shops, in addition to the abundant supply already installed around.

The contemporary signature of that architecture is the work of the firm Forme Studio Architecture, and supported by designer Frédéric Clairoux for the design of the interior spaces.

The project will consist of two towers of 193 and 170 units, rising to twelve and fifteen floors respectively. Many indoor parking lots, storage and bicycle spaces will also be available.

Reservations for rental places there will be available next fall. (C.P./IJL)

As of this evening, a traffic ban for heavy vehicles will be introduced. That excludes buses and emergency vehicles, which may continue to use the bridge.

Heavy vehicles will be directed to the Médéric-Martin Bridge, on Highway 15.

For now, the closure of the left lane, in both directions, is maintained on Papineau-Leblanc Bridge. It will be indicated by markings on the ground, rather than by cones, to facilitate winter maintenance.

The speed limit remains 70 km/h on the entire bridge. The Ministry reminds users of the importance of respecting the signs in effect. Surveillance will also be provided by the SAAQ road controllers.

The government body also recalls that “the condition of the bridge doesn’t compromise the safety of users”, and that “these measures are preventive, but necessary to ensure the integrity of the road infrastructure”. (N.P.)

The Ministry of Transport plans to close the right lane of Highway 640, westbound, when approaching exit ramp 16 (Highway 13 southbound/Laval/Montréal).

The ramp from Highway 640, westbound, to Highway 13, southbound, will be completely closed. A detour will be possible via the 25th Avenue exit.

The work rush will run from Friday, Oct. 21, at 9 p.m., to Monday, Oct. 24, at 5 a.m.

Let’s note that the work could be cancelled, or postponed without notice due to operational or weather constraints. (N.P.)

The closure will take place between Dagenais (east) and Laurentides boulevards, from Friday, Oct. 14, at 10 p.m., until Monday, Oct. 17, at 4 a.m. Des Perron Avenue will also be closed during that time. It won’t be accessible from Thursday, Oct. 13 at 9 p.m.

The work is required in order to proceed with the commissioning of a new temporary intersection, located at the corner of Route 335 and des Perron Avenue. That will be used until the opening of the new Saint-Saëns Street (east) interchange, scheduled for next summer.

The temporary configuration will force the prohibition of circulation for pedestrians and cyclists. However, once opened, the new interchange will include a multipurpose track for them.

Detour

The Ministry recommends that road users travelling southbound take Laurentides Boulevard, westbound, to Highway 440, eastbound, and then return to Route 335 to avoid the section that will be closed this weekend.

Going north, drivers can instead take Dagenais Boulevard (east), westbound, and then take Laurentides Boulevard, northbound, to Route 335.

Heavy vehicles travelling north will instead be intercepted at the intersection of Route 335 and des Grands-Maîtres/Dagenais Boulevard (east). They’ll therefore have to take Grands-Maîtres and Robert-Bourassa boulevards, followed by Highway 440’s service road, westbound. That will allow them to find Laurentides Boulevard in a northerly direction, in order to then finally get route 335.

Let’s note that the work could be cancelled, or postponed without notice due to operational or weather constraints. (N.P.)

“I’m happy to see that the site teams are mobilized and that the work is going well so that this structuring project can finally materialize,” said Mayor of Laval Stéphane Boyer in a press release published yesterday.

Boyer specifies that “in a little over two years, Laval will have high-level and unique facilities on the north shore that will serve both the needs of the community and the ambitions of the aquatic environment”.

If everything goes as planned, that infrastructure, which stands on the land north of the Cosmodome, could be inaugurated at the end of 2024.

$125M

Only bidder in the running, Quebec’s giant Pomerleau was awarded the design-build contract last winter for $108.4 million.

Taking into account the sums already invested in 2018, so before putting on hold the project, the bill increases to $125 million.

It will be remembered that on this date, four years ago, the City of Laval cancelled the call for tenders due to bids exceeding by almost 50 per cent the construction costs, then estimated at $61 million.

At the time, the municipal administration attributed this cost overrun to an overheated construction market. Then, there was the labor shortage that hit the industry, and a significant rise in the cost of raw materials, contributing to further increase the bill.

For the construction of that equipment, Laval has already received $20 million, funded equally by the two higher levels of government. Quebec and Ottawa made the announcement in June 2021.

Facilities

The aquatic complex, which keeps its initial design, will include:

• a recreational pool with 3 swimming lanes;
• a beach entrance and a large slide;
• a 52m × 25m pool with a bridge and a removable floor;
• a diving pool with 1m, 3m, 5m and 7.5m springboards and a 10m tower;
• a multifunctional training room;
• a fitness room;
• multipurpose rooms;
• fixed stands with 500 seats.

The capacity will be 875 bathers and 500 spectators, the aquatic complex being built to host provincial and national competitions.

This will take place between Saint-Saëns Street (east) and Dagenais Boulevard (east) from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

That hindrance is required in order to continue the necessary work for the construction of the Saint-Saëns interchange, as part of Highway 19’s extension project.

Road users going southbound will have access to a detour by taking des Laurentides Boulevard, westbound, as well as Dagenais Boulevard (east), eastbound, to return to Route 335.

Conversely, those going northbound can take des Grands-Maîtres Boulevard on the right, followed by Rang Saint-Elzéar on the left, and des Perron Avenue to return to their initial route.

Another possible detour is possible for people, when going through Dagenais Boulevard (east), heading west. Drivers would then need to take des Laurentides Boulevard northbound, and des Perron Avenue.

Trucks

Another detour is offered to truckers. When going southbound, truckers must take des Laurentides Boulevard, westbound, up to Highway 440 (east) in order to return to Route 335, southbound.

Northbound, trucks will be intercepted at the intersection of Route 335 and des Grands-Maîtres/Dagenais Boulevard (east). They’ll have to take des Grands-Maîtres and Robert-Bourassa boulevards, followed by the service road of Highway 440, westbound. This will allow truckers to get to des Laurentides Boulevard, northbound, and then up to Route 335. (N.P.)
